The consideration represents approximately £87.8 million, or $166.4 million. The Share Purchase brings NASDAQs holding in LSE to 61,291,389 shares, or approximately 28.75% of the issued share capital of LSE. NASDAQ will pay for the Share Purchase using $150 million borrowed under an amendment to NASDAQs existing credit facility and cash on hand.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 12, 2006, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) issued a letter to holders of warrants issued by NASD to purchase shares of Nasdaqs common stock. The letter advised the holders that Nasdaq is planning an underwritten public offering of its common stock and warrant holders who have exercised their warrants and received voting trust certificates representing shares of Nasdaq common stock on or before December 31, 2005 would have an opportunity to sell their Nasdaq shares represented by the voting trust certificates in this offering.
NASD advised the warrant holders that Nasdaq has agreed to make available in the near future a universal shelf registration statement that will allow certain other warrant holders to register their shares for public resale. Nasdaq and NASD anticipate that these warrant holders will be permitted to register their Nasdaq shares for public resale not later than 90 days after the completion of Nasdaqs proposed offering.
This excerpt taken from the NDAQ 8-K filed Jun 13, 2005. Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 10, 2005, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) issued a letter to holders of warrants issued by NASD to purchase shares of Nasdaqs common stock. The letter advised the holders of certain possible steps that NASD and Nasdaq were considering with respect to the warrants. The warrants were issued by NASD in private placements in 2000 and 2001. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share in each of four one-year exercise periods. The first two exercise periods have expired. The third exercise period carries an exercise price per share of $15 and will expire on June 27, 2005. The fourth and final exercise period, which begins June 28, 2005, carries an exercise price per share is $16 and will expire on June 27, 2006.
NASD is working with Nasdaq to amend the Voting Trust Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2000, among NASD, Nasdaq and The Bank of New York, as amended (Voting Trust), to which the warrants are subject. Under the Voting Trust, the certificates for the shares of common stock issued upon exercise of warrants are held in trust and the owners receive voting trust certificates representing the shares. Voting trust certificates can be returned for the actual stock certificates after Nasdaq is registered as a national securities exchange pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Registration). Once effective, the amendment to the Voting Trust would be designed to permit holders of exercised warrants receive stock certificates instead of the voting trust certificates prior to Exchange Registration.
NASD also is working with Nasdaq on the filing of a registration statement that would permit the shares of common stock underlying warrants to be freely transferable. Any such registration statement is expected to be filed by August 31, 2005, subject to approvals, including by Nasdaqs Board of Directors. Any registration statement would also have to be declared effective by the SEC.
The shares of common stock underlying the warrants are all outstanding and are therefore already included in Nasdaqs calculation of shares outstanding. 10,806,494 shares of common stock are exercisable in each of the third and fourth exercise periods. NASD previously indicated that warrants for a total of 42,580 were exercised during the first and second exercise periods. The remaining shares of common stock during the first and second exercise periods reverted to NASD, which sold 16,586,980 of these shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering in February 2005.
Holders with questions concerning lost certificates or how to exercise warrants should contact Mellon Investor Services at 1-877-282-1322. Holders with transfer requests or seeking additional information should contact NASD at 1-240-386-5291 or 1-240-386-5309.
The information set forth under Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure is intended to be furnished pursuant to Item 7.01. Such information shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
